One thing about you, is that you are not afraid to try out new adventures. You're an inspiration.
Love how Ethan just takes things in his stride and rolls with it great attitude. X
and he always does everything with class
three important offroad rules. 1) put it in 4x4 before you think you need it. 2) air down your tires before you think you need to. 3) use low range only as a last resort when in soft sand or soil as POWER can be your enemy if you don't have a hard surface below the soft stuff as you will only dig yourself deeper. get some maxtrax boards and a good tire guage as they are a lifesaver
In one of his videos, he said the front drive isn't working ( I don't know how long ago that was, though - maybe it's fixed now - but, if it is, you'd think he would have used it )
I am so glad that everything turned out to be okay with your heart. And it's very impressive that, despite your anxiety, you face these new challenges every day.
Yeah, he's really strong guy with a positive attitude.
It's not obvious that he has anxiety issues. He seems calm and relaxed 99.99% of the time. Maybe it's dealing with all the issues of camper living and I thought that was a carefree existence since no lawn to mow, small space to keep clean, etc. I hope he has accepted the great fact that he is Gay and doesn't fight that anymore.
Wow! Just started thundering and lightning and pouring rain here in upper SC about 50 M S of Charlotte.
I've been a solo traveler for a while but I think at your age, I would have never been as brave. Great job!
Again, I'm so happy to see someone traveling with their pet(s). Thank you!
Hey Ethan! A great story this week. The sunset views were fabulous. I love your attitude. Glad to hear it’s *only* anxiety. As a former RVer I suggest you get a shovel, a trowel (like used in gardening), some of those traction boards, and maybe some cheap racks (from Amazon) for dishes, glasses, etc. so things don’t shake, fall over, or fall out of cabinets. AZ is a beautiful state. Loving all of your adventures! -G
I am very old now, but I admire you and the way you are out there living out loud and doing it your way.
I have PTSD, severe anxiety and severe depression, I can relate to what you are going through Ethan, stay strong, love all your videos ❤
Yes so do i..Have had Bipolar for about 30 years..life is very hard sometimes..i cant work anymore as it was too much for me.
The Deptession and Anxiety are something no one would understand unless you suffer it yourself.
Medication dosnt seem to work for me anymore..just try to get through dasy to day..tale care.
@@ivanreed-qj7uz Have been dealing with depression since I was seven, of course, at that age I had no word for what was bothering me. Anyway, generic Prozac has helped me a lot. I assume you have tried that. Hope you and @kirkfeatherstone6944 find a way to deal with that and be happier.
Seems there's always challenges but you always keep a cool head and overcome the obstacles. Glad to hear that your heart's OK and also happy to see how Peaches had adapted to traveling. She reminds me of Millie in so many ways.
Loving your positivity, as always, Ethan. Every great adventure will have ups and downs. Getting stuck in the sand is OK, but OMG, those bananas attacking your flowers, that’s not cool! Best of all, we now know your health is great and that’s the most important thing ❤️
Good to hear your heart is OK, anxiousness is always awful. Keep up the good work ❤
You make me smile. All things you have done, problems you have and get through, such an amazing and exceptionally talented guy. Great looking and youre very easy to listen to and watch. Keep going and being you. We all enjoy.❤
Ethan I don’t know you personally but I worry about you but you seem to handle every situation. I would love to see one video from you where you don’t have a bad situation 😃! Take care of yourself!
Your videos are like reading a really good book. You make it feel like we are there with you. Your awesome!
Getting stuck in the sand - or anywhere else -is stressful, yet you also were in control enough to bring us along (videoing) the event. Your adventures and misadventures, bring out your sense of humor, (or borderline panic?) which is fun and entertaining. Remember, there was no blood, no accident paper work, just a lot of dirt, you had good news at doctor, introduced us to a new in city park/camp spot, shared a few moments of self-care ;) and such a lovely view it is (for us - lol).... think it kinda balances out. As always, best wishes in all your adventures.
As someone who's done a lot of backroad travel, may I make a recommendation? First of all, get some doormats thick door mats. Make sure you park evenly on those secondly, carry a large bag of clay cat litter. That'll solve a lot of problems. Hope this works for you
Brought back a memory of why my grandad kept 2 old floor mats in trunk of his 80s Caprice. And rhe folding shovel.
Weeeellllll...if interesting things didn't happen, you wouldn't have interesting content, right?? Ha ha! Imagine how you're building your character! Sometimes when I'm watching, I recall the cute, quirky kid you were when you first started. How far you've come, yet you still have that charm and quirkiness! Just want to say I ADORE Peaches! No dog ever replaces another...Millie will always be your girl...but I'm so glad you have another furry friend to keep you company. As always, great work, lovely to see you and follow your exciting life! 💖💖💖💖💖
Love how Peaches was supporting you when you were speaking about your heart and anxiety! You can tell how tight you two are! 🐶💛
Legit you have become one of my favorites on youtube.
I really get inspiration by seeing your resilience. And you are probably right to say that most people have generalized anxiety disorder to some extent. I am probably an example, and truly am inspired by how you handle it.
I'm willing to bet that all of these things you face on your travels actually help you with your anxiety. You're a great story teller! Keep them coming.
Good one Ethan! Your resilience is inspiring.
@ethantravels 🌄Hi Ethan! Why don't you have a small shovel in your camper? Living outdoors it would come in handy. ❤🔥That sunset was amazing!🌇
OMG! I miss those sunsets! Thank you for sharing.
Great video Ethan. By sharing your mishaps and successes you help us have more enjoyable camping adventures. Get a small foldable camping shovel and save your hands. There is often broken glass hidden in the sand along the roads in that area of the U.S. 😊
I love all your vids, I think you are a very sweet guy and I love how adventurous you are. Stay safe, have fun and I hope some day you find the guy that you can share the rest of your life with
I love how real you are and vulnerable. I always look forward to your vids. love ya Ethan! Stay Beautiful & Safe!
The unexpected mountains behind the hill were just spectacular. Wow. Really glad you saw them and the colors of the place are something to take in. The rabbits were a cool surprise , too. Thanks for noticing them. Each time a challenge occurs, you figure it out and you always will. The great thing is tat you do it solo, and of course these are new things each time, so it's a learning curve. Take stock in the knowledge that you are always able to get through it. When something comes up, take a few minutes to focus, but in a calm, zen way. You'll be less stressed as you get better at the game, but do a "I've got this even though I don't know how" inner look before you tackle it. "Ive got this."
Happy belated birthday. I wish I could of baked you a cake. You are such an inspiration and so easy on the eyes too!👍
A silver lining to all your misfortunes, it gives you content for you videos. Love you
Ethan, use your 4x4 drive, make sure the front hubs are in "Auto" and just leave them there, it won't hurt it to stay locked in, then just engage the system from the cab. You are better to turn on anytime to you think you may need it then to wait until your stuck and then try to use it to get out, an power is your friend, your truck has lots of power, but if you are spinning your rear wheels you are just digging holes.
Hey. Even though you are stressed out, you seem to stay on a pretty even scale. Oh. Just a thought. When disposing of trash in those parking lot cans with little doors, remember that most of the lids are on hinges and lift up easily, making trash disposal easier and quicker 😂
Enjoyed your latest video. Yeah, it's been cold here in Phoenix the last week. It should start warming up next week. A great campsite you should check out is Sycamore Creek. Also, you can stay at Copper Cactus outside Phoenix. They'll let you camp in your camper on property and they have nice ammenities for you (i.e. hot tub, outdoor shower). Bob and Rich are the owners and are super nice.
So Ethan...you know those "blocks" you put under your tires to level your truck? They are called TRAX Boards. They are made to shove under your tires when you get stuck to give you a solid surface to drive out of the hole. So you'll know next time.
Happy birthday Ethan 🎂 that was pretty nice that lady brought you some food and the view of the fog in the mountains was beautiful I envy you seeing all the beautiful sites you are seeing and thanks for sharing your adventures with us till next time be safe and take care ❣️🤠
wrong video
Found your channel a few weeks ago and checked some videos. It's hard to believe you started all of this around 18-19 and during the beginning of covid, you've been to so many places.
I wish we'd been friends so I could travel with you. Glad there are no heart issues! I can't wait to see where you go to this year!
Glad your ticker is running well.
Could you replace your levelling blocks with a set of those traction boards. If you can catch the wheelspin early enough, ive seen people rock a vehicle using a tiny bit of reverse then forward. Glad you had a friend nearby to help out 😊
Ethan, DUDE, DO you KNOW how much of a STUD You are? EVERYTHING that happens to You is making You MORE SELF-CONFIDENT and WISER !!
I've learned how much that SELF-CONFIDENCE counteracts My own ANXIETY, MAKING ME STRONGER dealing with Life's Potholes and My own MISTAKES !!
Keep STAYING STRONG, LEARNING, CHILLING and BEING YOUR BEST !!
Matt Bauer
Always entertaining, yet informative... especially when one has had a bad day themselves and needs to decompress. Thank you for that opportunity!
Please stop stressing out, getting stressed out and frustrated will not make things better, just calm down and chill. 😎 lots of love, Tom.
Anxiety!!! Not fun, so you want to do these videos carefully for fun and at low risk, with safety first. You've also mentioned panic attacks, so do things that don't raise anxiety too high and relax more. Because we want to keep watching you having fun and making it look easy. Take care, you're a great guy.
Glad Dr's appointment revealed NO heart ❤ issues, (better to have that checked off), but anxiety-related (asthma doesn't help ... I have that, but always make sure you have backup 'puffer'). Hope you get a pair of traction boards for next time your wheels get stuck. Some are sturdy enough to use a 'levelers'.
Ethan you are an awesome human! I have anxiety as well and also see a Dr for it.... you are not alone. All these challenges you face on the daily you overcome with such an amazing attitude! I heard once...."you've survived every worst day you've ever had" or something like that lol. Keep being a champion and I'll keep rooting for you :) I'm a vanlifer in the midwest and enjoy every second of it. I don't full time in my van but I get out in it every second I'm afforded. I have a 2023 Coachmen Beyond 22D Li3 White w/white cabinets (just incase you wanna look it up). Keep being awesome and safe travels!
You are always so positive no matter what happens Thank you for sharing your adventures
Whatever happens Peaches will be right there with you. Thanks for the update better luck in the future.
Love your stories handsome.
Little tip you might already know. But if you get in the soft sand,then as soon as you feel wheelspin or the truck digging in,the stop and drop your tire presure to like 1.0 bar and you be driving out easy
shower scene was wonderful!!!! 💓💓💓
I traveled Arizona years ago. It is absolutely beautiful. I didn’t have a camper. I stayed in various hotels. Doing what you do by yourself is really brave. Please keep making videos. Thank you. 🙏
So sorry you had a crap day. Hopefully you’ll have a extra exceptional day coming to make up for it!!!
Dealing with anxiety sucks. I used to worry about everything. A couple of things I learned to do was expect things to work out in the process of doing things. I was worrying about what might happen and quite often it didn't happen so I worried for nothing. When something happened and it at first seemed overwhelming I got the attitude to say I wonder how I'm going to get out of this problem.
I was a truck driver for over 40 years so I am sure I had my share of mishaps. On one of my very first trips I went to Memphis TN. I didn't know where the terminal was so I asked another driver. He thought it would be funny to give me bad directions. I got totally lost at 2 AM in the city. I stopped at a red light and this man got out of his car in front of me and asked if I was lost. He then had me follow him right to the terminal.
Another time I was picking this special trailer up at Camp Pendelton in California. I even had a security escort. It was a Friday evening right at 5 PM. I broke down right in Camp Pendelton. Friday Night at 5 PM is actually the worst time for a trucker to break down. I called my company and they just happened to have another driver just a few miles away to retrieve the trailers the security guy was not delayed hardly at all. Then the security guy told me they had used a wrecker truck when they brought the trailer in because the guy bringing it in got stuck in the sand. I called the guy and believe it or not he was just coming up to the exit as we spoke so he towed me to a repair facility and he charged me only $147. I was expecting three times that much. Then I told the facility the repair should be covered under warranty and they said it wasn't so I had to come up with $3500. I got the money and finally got a load home where I talked to my truck dealer and he checked and it was covered under warranty and I got all my money back.
Sometimes if I am really worried about something and I can't sleep I pray and give the problem to a higher power. I can not explain how that works but there are a lot of things that I do not understand but it does. The right people pop up out of nowhere or an unexpected check shows up in the mail. It has happened so many times it can't be a coincidence. Just make sure you are always trying to do the right thing and be a good person. That is kind of the key when it comes to divine help.
I have BPD with anxiety, so I can empathize with some of the physical manifestations. It can be a little scary. I'm glad everything turned out okay. I enjoy your channel very much.
I m glad you are ok
Hi Ethan a couple suggestions for. One is a small foldable shovel like they used in WWII to dig foxhole. They are small, light weight and would come in handy if you get stuck again. The other suggestion is a come along. It's a small winch that you could use to help pull yoursel out of jams. They are pretty small and light weight too. I know space is at a premium in a camper set up. Good luck and Happy New Year!
Sorry to hear that Milly is left you and went over the Rainbow, she was such a cute dog. But you found another dog and that is the sweet Peaches !!!! Love all your videos and they are so nice to watch. Love from The Netherlands.
Consider picking up one of those small folding shovels, they are handy
for many things, especially for digging out when stuck. As well as building
your Camp Fire.
Things to have in back road situations. Shovel, traction boards ( this can be ply wood with small boards attached across) 12 volt air compressor. Air down tires a little for sand. Use compressor to air tires up again. I realize your vehicle is heavy but every bit helps.
I enjoy the videos and hope you stay safe.
Loved this vid with those amazing views. The crocs in the shower are perfect, I know exactly what you mean. It's great to hear how you support the cancer research ideal (currently dealing with chemo and immuno myself), this support and everyone else's will hopefully ensure a cure one day for all cancers, both in humans and animals. PS I think you need a fold up spade, easier on the hands.
Just watched your espisode responding to viewer comments......MY POV having stumbled upon your show unexpectedly.
I HONESTLY think you have an understated CHARM and find you AMUSING AF without trying to be. YOUR channel at LEAST HAS CONTENT I enjoy, where as 60 % of channels just show a body part and I'm LIKE OK.... NOW WHAT....
The Fact that you're traveleing and sharing your experiences is ALOT more than what 1/2 the young adults your age are doing. YOUR SOUL and Character are EVOLVING beyond belief as well as self-reliance, that my FRIEND is VERY Inspiring and ATTRACTIVE!!
Keep it UP... I absolutely love your VIDEOS!
You are definitely one of the most adventurous person I’ve seen so far! How I’ve dreamed of traveling the USA in my old jeep, but working on fixing it up at the moment. I send you positive vibes and thoughts for all the unknown and unexpected events. I wish you well in your travels and adventures! I will be keeping up with your videos now
Ethan I love the way you handle adverse situations and handle problems with a great attitude. I just love watching you and your adventures.
Your content is so cool! Thank you for being so open and raw with your anxiety. Keep making awesome and fun content.
Noted. Traction thingies and all-wheel drive. Got it. (Maxtrax? I'll look it up.)
Also, thank you for supporting cancer research. It was due to fairly recent research at the time that I managed to survive cancer (and the aggressive chemotherapy). My beloved aunt died of metastatic breast cancer only a year before therapy that might have prolonged her life significantly became generally available. Research performed saved lives, and the sooner, the better.
Ethan, you're so fearless. I admire how you just take these predicaments in stride. I just drove from Wisconsin to Las Vegas and back and I was a bundle of nerves both ways. I was mostly on I-40 and 44.
Ethan, I am glad your Doctor appointment went well.
You were right under the final approach for Phoenix sky Harbor that’s where I learned to fly.
Omg! If I was driving your truck, I would have so much anxiety 😢. You are a super good driver. N cute too 😊😋😉. I love your dog!!! Keep making videos. Happy New Years!!!! 🎉 hug’s! 🙏🏻 insinuations when you get stuck. it’s best to stay calm. You’ll be be fine 😉. It’s good that you have friends that will back you up. Thank you for sharing your travels. I love the beautiful nature views.
Your truck is four wheel drive, it appears, so if you start to spin at all put it in four wheel drive. It didn't look like your front tires were spinning.
Schooliplooza is the 19th through the 31st in Ehrenberg by Quartzite. You should go it's awesome and you would have a blast. As for the propane go Chinese diesel heater lots cheaper to operate and they're only about a hundred dollars. The weather here in Arizona has been very cold we've been having lows in the teens and even a couple days of single digits by Williams. As far as bad luck, if I didn't have bad luck I'd have no luck at all. Have been getting my old class c ready for schoolie and a lifter collapsed, so I've got the whole top end off it right now waiting for parts. Best of luck to you bud, if you do go to schoolie free to look me up. I'll be in a gray class c dodge flying the Croatian flag, you can't miss it it sticks out. Also has 1950 Shasta wings on it so it's one of a kind.
at 11:36 the party lights in the back while cleaning up the camper LMAO
I know 😂
Well you had a Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day. I am glad that your heart is all good. Give Peaches some belly rubs for me. Keep having fun Ethan.
You manage pretty well to keep the anxiety attacks out of the videos, but thanks for sharing. It's great saying it to help others who have to deal with all that!
Stay safe out there, Mr. and maybe you should try Canada... You could check out Northern Ontario... Nice area... (in the summer).
Hey Ethan I am glad you were able to get your truck out of the hole. And yes that has happened to me too being stuck out in the middle of no where. Anxiety is a part of life as life happens. Your travel adventures are awesome and I hope to travel more in the summer. Thanks for sharing:)
I have nothing but respect for you Ethan!
I deal with anxiety too Ethan so I know what you go through. Really enjoying your vids! You have such a pleasant speaking voice and style.
Glad youre heart is ok. I had an anterior STEMI sneak up on me 2.5 years ago. Scariest thing that ever happened! Having a Widow Maker Heart attack at a young age was awful! Enjoy your videos my guy!
I have had anxiety all my life. Everything from breathing irregularities to heart arithmetic problems, migraines, and chronic muscle spasms. Breathing, meditation, and working out are the only things that help. I have tried the anxiety medication and it doesn’t work for me. I carry all of my stress in my shoulders and it carries from there to every where else. Find your center when you’re stressed and always take a moment to collect yourself.
For anxiety, usually Magnesium + B6 supplement helps. Also vitamin D supplement helps. Brewery yeast helps too by adding the B vitamins. Sometimes calcium helps. Bananas help. Heart issues can be caused by anemia, thyroid issues, nerve issues (sclerosis multiplex, tetania), etc.
In my 21foot camper I put "Baby Safe Latches" on cabinets and drawers and never had to pick up shelf contents after driving again!!
You are amazing Ethan! Thank you for sharing your vulnerabilities and challenges. Inspiring for sure!
Lowes and Home Depot sell small shovels that can fit just about anywhere in your truck/home. Beats digging with your hands.😁
you are frank, truthful, honest, and very clear. Love your channel….so real. You're a doll….Rob
You made it through Ethan. You are doing it every day. Keep the right mindset and attitude. I do watch your videos even if I do not say much often.
You should invest in a 2nd axle for the truck will definitely help with the camper moving back and forth, love the videos btw!
glad you are ok health wise ,thats the main thing ,i always look forward to your adventures and sometimes learn something ,please keep being you ,ty
I'm really glad your health is good, Ethan. I have horrible anxiety as well, and it's no fun at all. Somehow, you always seem to have a positive attitude, though. That's so awesome! Give Peaches a big kiss 🐕❤
Hi Ethan... I suffer anxiety is well... And I have heart problems...glad you shared and rose awareness...
Enjoy your videos...big thing for a guy your age..
Have fun
Thank you for saying you check with management before staying at Cracker barrel. So many other RUclipsrs don't mention this and I have never had a manager of a retail store/ restaurant deny me to stay for a night. Most all thank that I ask !!!!❤❤❤
Your openness about your anxiety is refreshing and inspiring...live with it daily and have learned to self-talk myself a bit like a good father would calm his good son. Love you Ethan!
I noticed Peaches giving you a lot of attention and love while you chatted about your anxiety and heart. She has a great heart ❤
Haa, glad you got through the day okay and got good news from your doctor!
Ethan ngl I liked seeing you down digging in the dirt. That and seeing you clean up after relieved a little of _my_ anxiety. Especially since you got out OK. Thanks for being so open and just sharing your life with us. Glad your health is good.
PS Latches with reinforcing plates for the cabinet doors. Cheap. Larger plate surface area = Can use more, shorter screws. Find a Makerspace to drill holes. Latch internally with room for fingers to unlock. Use multiple latches for that big cabinet. Make sure distances for them is uniform too. Stuff falling out of cabinets can be a trigger for some people. Think of us! You can be lazier afterwards! Think of you!
It's crazy how when someone suffers from Anxiety people just say, "awe, it's okay just get over it" "Breath" "Just say fuck it" that one came from a DOCTOR!!!! Please, when anxiety hits, it hits hard!!! I'm so sorry that you have to deal with this. You seem like a level headed man. Hopefully, you're able to get meds that will help you through. This anxiety issue with you changes everything. I feel closer to you than ever!!!! My son and I both have to deal with this. It's no fun at all. Ethan, your videos help me. In more ways than you'll ever know. I don't have a lot of money right now, but soon...I'll cash app you some momey so you can continue making videos for all of us who appreciate what you do. I love you man. I really do. Hello from beautiful Tulsa, OK
I think it would be a good thing if you got a small shovel in case you have to dig again. It would be faster, and easier on your hands. The military calls them entrenching tools. They have a short handle and could be easily stored somewhere on your truck.
You're so cute! Great wishes in the days ahead. Keep sharing as you do. Much love to your puppy as well. What a cute pooch!
Really helpful that you share scary challenges with your subscribers!
Absolutely enjoying watching your vlogs. You are so funny and witty, and so brave putting yourself in some dodgy situations, but love how you can make a joke of them. Safe and fun travels.
So glad to know what your heart is fine. Anxiety is nothing to be ashamed of just make sure that you have some medication that will help control it.
As you keep being reminded Stress triggers can be anywhere and usually they are. A couple of deep breaths can be restorative and calming. You seem to really have that pretty much under control. I love the views you have been able to enjoy and share. 🤗
